The couple then drove off together in Jenelle's white SUV.
Their two-year-old daughter Ensley was the last of the children living in their home to be removed by child protective services and placed in the care of his mother, where Eason's daughter from another relationship, Maryssa, is also staying.

The site reported that while Jenelle does have visitation rights with Jace, a judge does not want him near Jenelle's home.
Kaiser — her four-year-old son with ex fiance Nathan Griffin — was picked up from school by CPS and placed in Nathan's mother's care on Friday.

David videotaped Ensley playing with their French Bulldog and shared the clip to his followers on one of his many social media accounts.
As Ensley tried to kiss the puppy named Nugget, the dog — who is clearly uncomfortable as it cowers and pulls away from the little girl — nipped back at the girls face while the video continued to roll on.
The Blast reported that David 'grabbed the dog by the throat and slammed it on the ground' before throwing the helpless animal into the kitchen table.
